Ex Libris :: This is WWI [Raymond Biesinger]

From the efficient, utilitarian, Hemmingway-adorned Plateau studio of Raymond Beisinger comes a cordial invitation for you to think for yourself, do your own research, make your own conclusions, and construct your own meaning of World War I. His paradoxically titled “This is WWI” is less a presentation of the Great War and more the physical manifestation of his gentle intellectual push encouraging you to learn about one of history’s most pivotal conflicts. The push is strong in this one: See and feel the beautifully silk-screened gas masks, tanks, and zeppelins in satisfying fifteen aesthetic; maps and infographics abound. Let the push in. Grip and be pushed. In conclusion, a list of words that I had to look up while reading: Gavrilo Princip, Schieffen plan, Howitzer, Entente, Khartoum, Erich Von Falkenheyn, Cambrai, ASDIC, Spanish Flu, Mille Putois.
